Photographer’s Note

The structure of the cathedral is primarily in the Norman style, having been constructed at the behest of Bishop Herbert de Losinga between the late 11th century and about 1145. The total length of the building is 461 feet (140 metres). Significant alterations from later periods include a 315 foot (96 metre) spire completed in 1465, and a two-storey cloister, the only such in England, which was built between 1300 and 1430, as well as the vaults of nave and chancel.

The cathedral is built of flint and mortar faced with limestone brought in from Caen. Standing at 315 feet, the cathedral's spire is the second tallest in England, and dominates the city skyline.

Hi James,
A strict and classical composition with the church spire and the base line in exactly the "right" place. It certainly gives this picture a fine sense of harmony. The fine colours contribute as well.

Hello James,
This is a nice shot, good composition and beautiful landscape with part of the cathedral showing at the back of the trees is just perfect. Thanks for sharing
Best Regards,

for me there is not enough interest in the fore ground and I want to know what the rest of the building looks like.

that said you have good contrast with colours and the sky is not burnt out
